@yvaN_ehT_nioJ yeah, but Russia had a huge number of casualties, and their culture went a different path (they did suffer under communism, though)

China already sold off the debt.

thats why Trump is bringing jerbs back, and making the economy boom,

So when the bill comes, they're the ones that are ahead

had to look it up finally

I think.

from the national debt wiki

"As of December 2017, $6.3 trillion or approximately 45% of the debt held by the public was owned by foreign investors, the largest being China (about $1.18 trillion) then Japan (about $1.06 trillion)"

so still a sizeable chunk, even if they have sold some off

yep indeed

and when you take into account how intertwined their trade still is

zo china had about 1/5 of our debt

even in the era of trump

1/5 is still a LOT

1/5 is hueg

like a scary ammount

for a country that was trying to peg their currency to ours for the longest time

i think that part has finally been stopped

pretty sure

OH, didn't expect THAT:

but still leaves them holding a hell of a bill to call in

Hell Russia done it already and nobody noticed...

People are pissed at SJW it seems.

they really don't like them

ya but russia didnt have anywhere near as much of the debt as china does

Russian holdings were pretty small

from what i understand

now if china did that

we would be in trouble, i think

It would be barely felt... :\

you are crazy

Our economy is growing at a fast pace, consumers confidence is high, and we are starting to create a lot of our products here in United States.

not that much

Most of that debt is OWNed by American corporations located in China.

We are bringing those Corporations back.

i think you really overestimate that growth if you think that growth would balance out china already

in a few years it could be done

probably 5 to 10

relax guys heres what will happen if China goes broke

but we def are Not there yet
